Lunch With the In-Laws and Light, Last-Minute Sushi Dinner

I had a meeting this morning close to where my in-laws live, so I met my mother-in-law and sister-in-law for lunch at a great local cafe. I ordered...

…the half salad/half sandwich combo and decided to go meatless, so I chose the portobello veggie sandwich and house salad with a cherry-balsamic dressing. It was sooo good — I will have to find a recipe for that dressing! It also came with chips, but I was plenty full without them. I splurged a little and got a glass of fruit tea as a treat with it.

I didn’t get home until late in the evening, so a quick dinner was in order. I made salads with mixed greens, toasted pecans, goat cheese and blueberries and asked Joe to pick up some sushi on his way home. Unfortunately, he said the sushi selection was a little low at our grocery store tonight, so we ended up with spicy tuna (which I usually skip due to the creamy sauce) and it was white rice (I usually prefer brown for more fiber and nutrients from the whole grain). Oh well, it was still a nice, light dinner — a perfect end for the warm day we had today!
